Granular mixture testing
Ensuring the stability of your pavements
We analyze the physical and mechanical properties of granular mixtures to ensure strength, durability, and compliance with regulations for road and railway infrastructures.
Granular materials form the structural base of pavements, including subgrades, foundation layers, and base courses, which determine the overall performance and lifespan of the infrastructure. Poor-quality mixtures can reduce load-bearing capacity, cause premature deformation, and lead to structural failure with significant repair costs.
Our laboratory testing allows verification of material properties before installation, optimization of mix design to improve performance and durability, and certification of compliance with technical standards for public and private works. We carry out particle size analysis, compaction tests, CBR (California Bearing Ratio) tests, and performance evaluations of cement-treated mixtures to ensure that each pavement layer meets the required specifications.
With our testing services, you can prevent structural issues, validate materials before construction, and provide certified technical documentation for clients and project stakeholders.
